Event Navigation

Discover your inner world of calm through an outward act of craft. No previous experience is needed just an ability to hold a pen. Over a 6 week period Siobhan will guide you through principles and simple alphabet s using Foundation and the Uncial style, the iconic Irish script that we are so familiar with. Each session begins with discussions and demonstrations followed by a quiet period with music to practice. Each participant is encouraged to create their own piece either a word or phrase that resonates with them.
Week 1. Confidence through attention
Week 2. Finding Patience through attention
Week 3. Creativity through attention
Week 4. Non Judgement -playing with words
Week 5. Concentration without distraction
Week 6. Satisfaction through completion

As Calligraphy was initially developed for scriptural study it is intended that the beginning of each class will consist of a fifteen minute ‘quiet time’ where participants may read /reflect or meditate.
